What type of pacifier should I choose for my child?
Dentists recommend pacifiers with anatomical design. The most common teat has suction part of latex. It is a soft, malleable and durable natural material. Silicone is an artificial material that does not age. The difference between these two materials is how they wear. Latex is the same as natural rubber. It is a soft, malleable and durable natural material that can withstand toddler teeth better than silicone. Latex is a natural material that ages of contact with saliva and sunlight. It can be noted by the suction part for a period of use swells slightly and becomes darker, it can sometimes be sticky. It recommended a change latexsmokker every 4 - 8 week. Silicone retains its freshness longer than latex and need only be replaced when there are bite marks or tears in the nipple part. Silicone is more sensitive for small children pointed teeth than the latex is and silicone is easier to pieces if the child bites or chews on it. One should be particularly aware that the suction part is full and that there are bite marks in it. If there are bite marks or tears in the silicone pacifier should not be used more! Silicon may, in some cases, break up and loosen the pieces. Questions and answers to frequently asked questions: Does the name disapear when I cook it? No, they are laser engraved and it never disappears. How often should I replace the pacifier? It depends on how often and intensive your child use it. We and our supplier recommends that you replace the pacifier every 4 - 8 week and of course it is important to check it regularly. You have to change if you discover bite marks. A nipple with a hole in the suction part should be discarded immediately. Parents must tend to "pull tests" on the pacifier when it is new, and subsequently at regular intervals while it is used. This applies to all types of pacifiers. There is water in the suction section of the pacifier? According to European standards must be air holes in the teats. Pacifier to get air in and out of the nipple part so it does not collapse. On our pacifiers are air hole in the bracket between the knob and shield. When you squeeze the nipple part, you can hear the air coming in and out. It can get water into the suction part when you cook or owe teat. This does not affect the safety or function. If you press the suction part and facing some of the teat, you get the most out of the water. The air inside the suction component allows the remaining water dries. Why is the suction section of a used latex pacifier more than a new one? Latex (natural rubber) is a natural material that changes according to external circumstances. When the pacifier is used over a longer period is rubber soft from the heat. The more porous rubber, the more liquid it takes to him and then swells suck part. Therefore, the greater the suction of a used pacifier than a new one. Is it PVC or phthalates in the teats? No, there is no PVC or phthalates in the teats. Contains teats Bisphenol A (BPA)? BPA is not problematic when it comes to pacifiers because they have such short life (cf. goods declaration) and then to be replaced / discarded. BPA is found in all products made of polycarbonate - which pacifiers are just in the shield and not the nipple part that is of latex or silicone. Research shows that BPA can cause problems such as baby bottles are heated often within 2-3 years of life. Combined with food and repeated heating for a long time, as is the case with baby bottles, BPA will be able to go into the food, eg. the milk.
